MANIFOLDING SALES-BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 748,755, dated January 5, 1904.

Application filed November 6, 1903. Serial No. 180,019. (No model.)

than one copy of orders or other memoranda.

My invention consists particularly in .improvements in that form of manifolding salesbooks in which the sales-slips are secured at one end of a backing-sheet and a block, to-

gether with carbon sheet or sheets, secured at the opposite end of the backing-sheet; and it consists in an improved arrangement of cover secured underneath said block and extending over said block and under said backing-sheet.

To this end my invention consists in the featuresof construction and combinationhereinafter particularly described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sales-book embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 isa similar view of the book partially constructed.

In the drawings, 2 represents a backingsheet, preferably of cardboard. Secured to one end of the backing-sheet, as by means of staples 3, are a series of sales-slips 4:, the free ends of said slips terminating some distance short of the opposite end of the backingsheet. .Secured to the end ,of the backingsheet adjacent to the free ends of the salesslips, as by means of staples 5, is a block 6, composed, preferably, of a series of narrow strips of cardboard arranged one upon the other. I secure between the block 6 and the backing-sheet one end of a carbon-sheet 7 and one end of a flexible cover 8. The cover 8, as illustrated in Fig. l, is carried over the block and underneath the backing-sheet 2 and is folded over the top of the sales-slips to form a loose flap 9. At the binding edge of the book the flexible cover is preferably prise a plurality of sales-books, and an important advantage of'my improved construction is that in cutting these blanks into books the knife will not draw the end of the flexible cover away from the block, as is sometimes the case when there is an exposed edge of the flexible cover at the block.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is--- 1. A sales-book comprisingabacking-sheet, a series of sales-slips bound together and to one end of said backing-sheet, a block secured at the opposite end of said backingsheet, a carbon-sheet supported at one end in connection with said block, and a flexible cover secured at one end underneath said block and passing over said block and underneath said backing-sheet, the opposite end of said flexible cover being secured to said backing-sheet at the binding edge of said sales-slips, and extending over said salesslips to form a loose flap.

2. A sales-book comprising a cover supporting at oneend a block and carbon-sheet, and at its opposite end a series of sales-slips, said cover being secured underneath said block, and passing around said block and underneath the sales-slips, and being secured underneath the binding edge of the salesslips and extending over the same to form a loose flap.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
